Break it down into 2 or 3 sub groups and send in separate boxes. Easy shit and no one knows any better. The hell with informing your FFL status, and having to fill out new forms, especially on something that might not even be registered.
Defy and resist. Stop conforming to rules.

a friend wanted a pistol shipped from florida to where he was stationed in Pennsylvania. hi smom sent hi ma "care package" of cookies, 10 cookies to a bundle, wrapped in tin foil, and all the bundles placed in a large cookie tin, then inside a box an mailed to his squadron.

in the bottom of the tin, a disassembled pistol, all of the components wrapped in tin foil. smuggling is easy if you know what they're looking for and the package you present doesn't give them that.

I recall more than a couple of instances over the years, where UPS was either used by the JBT's to set up innocent gun owners at the behest of the BATFEces or where lawful shipments of items such as ammo were brought to their attention by the UPS people; whereby much mischief followed once the JBT's had a name & address to go after.

One instance I know of, the BATFEces opened a parcel with an ASR, inserted an illegal gun part (I think it was an auto sear), sealed the parcel back up and arranged for that parcel to be directly & immediately delivered to their victim... whom they raided minutes after the victim signed for their package (without knowledge that their shipment of ammo had an auto sear in a little ziploc baggie added to it)...

I resolved on that last point to buy ammo in person or have it shipped by anyone OTHER than UPS! In fact, I won't use UPS at all, and I check with a vendor before I buy to see who they use to deliver. I'm not just boycotting UPS for their collaboration with agents of evil, I'm protecting myself from being set up by people who have no qualms about breaking the law to persecute a seeker and defender of freedom!
